Little MISLABELED. Pretty girls are often described as bitches, whore, have a bad personality, always want to be in the spotlight.

Pretty girls are not always bitches or whore, or attention-seeker. Most of them just want to be treated fairly, be in the face of the crowd, happy without being envied by friends. Every time they walk in the streets, some guys say perverted things and of course they'll pretend they never hear it and just keep walking but deep inside, they want to cry. When they ask for advice anonymously about problems involving the society and their physical appearance, most responses are mean, negative, and often mislabeled as "swelled head", "bad personality", "vain", "slut". They just want to ask for help and it just so happens that their problems is their looks.

Nice guys can easily be intimidated with their presence but never get their hopes up. That's the reason why some people are wondering, "She's so beautiful but is that really her boyfriend?" Being gorgeous also means having "racist" people. That's also the reason why they have low self-esteem. People are very judgmental on what their wearing and can easily trigger negative impression depending on how they suit it well. When they're just being friendly with people like for example, nice guys who helped them carry really heavy stuff, most people think that they're flirting. Their friends will never believe them as being lonely because they think that they're always in the center of attention to guys.

Hello again. I agree, that yes, some beautiful women can entirely define themselves on how nice looking they are.

And they can see it as the only thing that is important in the world.

And they can become very self conscious and start comparing themselves to every other woman with a pretty face.

And then they can feel they are not as good.

There is so much more to life than the way we look.

We can't help the way we look, so it's really something over which we have very little control.

Whoever we are, the most we can do is to keep ourselves clean and tidy, wear our hair nice and keep it clean, and wear a little makeup and clothes that flatter our body shape.

So then we feel good about our reflection in the mirror.

And after that, the most important part about a person, is their inner beauty.

Things like:-

(1) Personality.

(2) Sense of humour.

(3) Kindness, generosity, care and consideration for others.

(4) Being genuine in how you are in the world.

(5) Being yourself, totally.

(6) Being genuinely interested in people and in life.

(7) Treating everyone you meet with respect and dignity.

(8) Considering all people to be equal.

(9) Realizing that no-one is any better than anyone else - we are all equal.

(10) Teating others as you would like them to treat you.

(11) Having no second thoughts about what others might be thinking of you - it's NOT important.

So after having said all this, it really is more important what is inside us - NOT what is on the surface.

So_Very_Confused agony auntI get what you are saying and it's true.

TRULY beautiful women who don't realize how beautiful they are are often wondering why they are alone... and it's because they may be shy, they don't see themselves as beautiful (and this is a KEY POINT) and they often have low self-esteem.

Sadly for beautiful women if the ONLY thing they have going for them is beauty they are going to be very disappointed with life in the long run. Beauty only lasts so long and depending on it as a way to define yourself within society will in the long run hurt you.

It's better to cultivate your brain.

A beautiful woman who posts asking for advice is not posting a picture so the only way we know if she's beautiful is if she says so. And to be honest, with the idea that beauty is in the eye of the beholder I find a woman who posts and defines herself as beautiful, already lacking in the personality department I would deem necessary for a successful long term life.

Hi there. When other girls treat you negatively because of your looks, that's not about you - it's about them comparing themselves unfavourably against you.

So don't ever feel it's something about you that is wrong.

It's about them and only THEM.

As long as you accept yourself for who you are, and see yourself as equal in EVERY way, well then you can't really go wrong.

You are no better than anyone else, nor are they any better than you.

We are ALL equal.

Just be who you are, and be genuine in who you are and in what you say, and be kind and respectful to others, and be a true friend.

And if that is NOT enough for them, well then it's their loss NOT yours.

It's what is inside a person that really counts, not how pretty their face looks.

Beauty is only skin deep.

True beauty, comes from within.

That's who you REALLY are.
